Once again, teams started throwing on us so much late in the year it skewed the run stats. Week 3 Simms pointed out that we are undersized between the tackles but you can't run on us outside. I'd say all year that was a weakness. It didn't start becoming more apparent until Cushing went out.

People keep saying this like Cushing played most of the year. He went out in game 5.

Several folks behind the scenes have talked about Payne in his prime would have been a beast if he was playing for us now.
